"I dare not!" Gu Jiuxing knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "Your Majesty, I don't understand those great principles. I only know that if there is someone in this world who helps me just because I have done nothing wrong, not for any gain from me... I will be extremely grateful."
Emperor Ming Yan thought of the aggrieved "Aye" she said as soon as she entered the room, and his heart suddenly ached.
She must have come here with a lot of grievances and wanted him, her father, to understand her and comfort her, but he just said those words right off the bat. No wonder the child was sad.
Half a moment later, several men rode out of the palace and headed towards Fuyuan.
Just a moment ago, the prince arrived at Fuyuan and told her what the Imperial Observatory had said.
Yan Shiyue looked at him as if he were a fool: "Is that Taishi Ling's brain filled with shit?"
"How dare you talk nonsense!" The prince scolded anxiously, "This is not a trivial matter! Don't be naughty and make trouble again. Think of a solution!"
She looked at the prince for a long while, and saw that he looked solemn and worried... She couldn't help but hold her forehead, confirming that this matter really had a great impact on them.
She instantly switched back to business mode and said, "I understand. I'll take care of it."
The prince asked, "How are you going to solve this?"
...
...
Yan Shiyue said seriously: "The reason why we are in awe is because we don't understand. Once we understand, we will no longer worship it as a god."
At this time, the eunuch who was delivering the message arrived. He got off his horse and was about to speak, but Yan Shiyue stopped him hastily: "Stop! Don't say anything! Don't say anything first!"
As she spoke, she quickly returned to the house and took out a pen and paper. "You want to read out Aye's instructions, right? Don't do that yet. I have a letter to write to Aye. Please send it back to me first."
The eunuch was stunned. He had never seen such a scene before.
He and the prince stared at each other, and then Yan Shiyue quickly wrote a letter and handed it to him.
The eunuch was at a loss as to what to do with the letter, and the prince said helplessly: "Go, give the letter to the emperor first, and listen to his instructions."
The eunuch had no choice but to leave with the letter. Emperor Ming Yan's oral order was to lift the house arrest and bring her to see him. When he saw that Yan Shiyue did not come, his face sank.
Then the young eunuch tremblingly told the story and presented the letter.
The letter was obviously written in a hurry. It was folded before the ink had dried, and the handwriting was a little blurred when it was opened.
The gist is: Although you scolded me for no reason, I am very sad and angry, and I don’t intend to make peace with you, but I heard that someone dared to fool me with some astronomical phenomena, I will never tolerate such a thing, so even if we haven’t made peace yet, we can temporarily unite against the outside world, you wait for me to deal with the thing that fooled you, and then we can solve our problems... By the way, even if we are quarreling, the one you love the most is me! !
Emperor Ming Yan: "..."
He felt the same as the prince: too much to complain about.
But, to fool him with astronomical phenomena?
Emperor Ming Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Logically speaking, everyone may have cliques and factions, and may tell lies, but at first, he really didn't think that the Imperial Observatory would dare to lie about astronomical phenomena.
This is just like people who believe in Bodhisattva do not dare to spread rumors about Bodhisattva. This is a kind of belief.
Anyone who dares to spread rumors about such things is prepared to risk the lives of his entire family. Generally speaking, no one would risk everything just to tell such a trivial lie.
But he was surprised that she pointed out this as a "trick" without hesitation.
Emperor Ming Yan immediately called his shadow guards to investigate the Grand Historian.
Then he waited in the imperial study for the prince's report.
There was some tacit understanding between the Crown Prince and Emperor Mingyan, so even though the Crown Prince returned to the palace very late, he still came to see the Emperor.
When Emperor Ming Yan met the crown prince, the crown prince's face was filled with confusion as if his world views had been shattered.
At that time, Yan Shiyue asked someone to bring a clairvoyant over and gave him a lesson for half an evening on the movement of celestial bodies.
Then the prince knew that these stars all have their own "trajectory", which is a fixed path. For example, the Big Dipper revolves around the North Star, which is a fixed route. It would not happen that one star would visit another star one night.
Therefore, the so-called "Fuxing invades Beichen" is completely nonsense.
By the way, "Mars guarding the heart", "three stars in a row", "meteor falling", and "the heavenly dog eating the moon" are all just natural phenomena. For example, Mars, which is the red star, usually comes close once every fifteen to seventeen years, and these are all predictable.
The prince was very mindful, and basically told Emperor Ming Yan everything that Yan Shiyue said.
Emperor Mingyan became interested after listening halfway, so he asked someone to bring a telescope and went to the high tower to observe the stars with the prince.
Not to mention, stargazing is even more fun when accompanied by explanations!
The prince, who had already been tortured by Yan Shiyue for half the night and was not able to find the right person and was despised, and who didn't want to look at the stars again in his life... felt a little complicated.
In his heart, Emperor Yan and Yan Shiyue are real father and daughter, absolutely real. No matter the bad temper that doesn't allow anyone to mention something when he's angry, or the stubborn attitude that makes people do whatever they want, they are really the same.
But before he met Yan Shiyue, he had never realized that Emperor Ming Yan had this side of him.
During the morning court session, civil and military officials continued to complain, and the incident of "Fuxing invading Beichen" continued to ferment. Countless civil officials tearfully begged the emperor to forgive Princess Fuyan. Those who didn't know would think that she was his biological mother.
Emperor Ming Yan had not slept all night, but he was in good spirits. When he looked at these people, he felt particularly detached.
In the end, he just said: "I have my own ideas on this matter, and you don't have to worry. Fu Yan is my beloved daughter and the blessing of Dayan. Before you speculate about her, think about whether you have received her kindness!"
Who hasn't received the favor of Princess Fuyan? Let's talk about other things. Do you vaccinate your children?
No one thought much about it, thinking that Emperor Ming Yan's attitude had softened, so naturally they stopped the fighting temporarily.
Then, three things happened one after another that day.
The first thing was that the censor who risked his life to advise the emperor to execute Princess Fuyan was injured by a falling object.
The incident happened when he was leaving court. In full view of everyone, the eaves of a roadside house fell down and hit him on the head, causing him to bleed profusely on the spot.
Everyone was terrified.
You know, this kind of thing cannot be planned in advance. Everyone was there at the time and there was no one on the roof. If it was loosened in advance, who could have known that he would just pass by underneath?
The second thing is that it is said that someone met Yan Shitu and Huo Qijing on the road, and a conflict broke out between the two sides. During the quarrel, the man accused Princess Fuyan of being "disrespectful, unfilial, and unbrotherly".
Then Huo Qiyang said: "So, you think that personal feelings are above right and wrong? Then should 'family harmony' also be above 'national law'?"
After “choosing another father Ming”, Huo Qi Yang once again became famous for his words.
To be honest, just this one sentence can choke half of the people in the capital.
In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage between Kou Yiwen and Kong Sanniang.
Just considering this matter, it is clear that the Queen Mother has clearly expressed her support for Princess Fuyan's decision.
The wind direction in the capital changed.
Everyone finally put aside their family affairs and thought about the hierarchy.
But when things have evolved to this point, Kou Yiwen’s marriage has become the least important thing. What is important is “Fuxing Invades Beichen”!
